Goldmember is the villain of Austin Powers in Goldmember, the 2002 comedy film in which Mike Myers plays the gold-obsessed Dutch criminal. His catchphrase, delivered with an exaggerated love for gold, became one of the film's most quoted lines and later circulated online as a short meme sound. Creators reuse it because the stretched pronunciation is instantly recognisable and works without context, turning any mention of wealth, luxury or treasure into a quick, self-contained joke.
About this sound
Goldmember from Austin Powers delivers his drawn-out catchphrase I love goooold in this clip, used for gold, money and treasure moments in memes and edits.
Goldmember's voice is gleeful, greedy and deliberately over the top as he drags the vowel in gold into a long, warbling goooold, turning a simple declaration of love for the metal into a punchline. The delivery is theatrical rather than threatening, with a thick Dutch-sounding accent and a rising, almost singing enthusiasm that makes the line instantly recognisable even without the film around it. Heard on its own, it lands as pure comic greed, the kind of quote that makes a cheap joke feel bigger and gives an ordinary reveal a sudden, absurd payoff.
